My doctor prescribed Glynase MF 1 tablet 1/2 an hour before breakfast. In a recent post some one said he is taking glynase MF after breakfast.

My question is whether to take Glynase Mf before breakfast or after breakfast.

Amoxicillin is totally different , coz in a large number of cases its known to cause diarrohea, hence never before meals, always after meals. Pharmacokinetics are different for all drugs , except from the same family like Amoxicillin from Penicillin family, all penicillin derivatives are likely to coz diarrohea.

OHAs are different .

I was a part of the team that first launched Human Insulins in India.
